Joy, Eadie and Maureen live and work in Gosport. When the factory they work at is bombed they embark on an adventure hop picking. They meet some wonderful people and have an amazing time. I wish this was part of a series as it would have been good to see how their characters develop.
Review of advance copy received from Author
Disappointing read
I read this book as it’s set where I bought up and knew a lot of the locations. However the story was very mundane
